1 ENGLISH only Agenda Item 6(a) September 2004 CX/PFV 04/22/11-Add.1 JOINT FAO/WHO FOOD STANDARDS PROGRAMME CODEX COMMITTEE ON PROCESSED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES 22 nd Session, Washington, DC metro area, U.S.A., 27 September 1 October 2004 METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND SAMPLING FOR PROCESSED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES This paper is for information only. It contains methods of analysis and sampling including Codex recommended methods of analysis and sampling (CAC/RMs)) currently in force for selected processed fruits and. As CODEX/STAN (List of Methods of Analysis and Sampling in force in Codex Standards) does not contain all the methods of analysis for processed fruits and that have been endorsed by the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling, the document is presented as follows: Part I: Part II: Part III: Methods of analysis and sampling endorsed by the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling for inclusion in CX/STAN and in the individual standards for processed fruits and. Methods of analysis and Sampling for selected processed fruits and as contained in CX/STAN Codex methods of analysis and sampling (CAC/RMs) for selected processed fruits and. 1 CODEX/STAN is available for downloading on the Codex website at:
